Game Thread: Spurs @ Jazz 2/23/2015 8:00 CST

[itzsoweezee]

Tony goes out, the Spurs are back in. Not a fucking coincidence.

[Spursfanfromafar]

What about our "max contract" player who's 23 and scoring in single digits as often as doubles? What about our 3 point shooters who forgot how to shoot in the off-season? It's not like you get "old" at shooting wide open fucking 3s.

What about Diaw? Is he even an NBA player at this stage anymore?

Kawhi has still been very good on defense. 3 point shooters aren't hitting below average ..they are still at 38-40% which is par for course.

And Diaw has been bad yes. But Parker? Abysmal.. and thats putting it kindly.

[BillMc]

About this time last year we were on like a 19 game winning streak.

[ElNono]

thats an AND1

[Johnny RIngo]

funny thing tho, is that we're still in this game despite playing like absolute shit

Just show how terrible the Jazz are.

[bklynspursfan]

Ahhhh that 3 would've been huge

[Rescueone]

Ugh

[itzsoweezee]

BENCH PARKER

[Silver&Black]

Needed that Ferrari 3 to end the quarter......

It's still a winnable game though. We got this.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs lost all 3 qtrs

[Beaverfuzz]

Outscore by 10, win.

[Bartleby]

I still think the Spurs are going to win this one, but maybe a loss tonight will be the wake up call they've needed since November.

[Sean Cagney]

funny thing tho, is that we're still in this game despite playing like absolute shit
Yeah but playing like absolute shit every single damn night now, not encouraging to be JUST in the game against a bad Utah team.
I still think the Spurs are going to win this one, but maybe a loss tonight will be the wake up call they've needed since November.

:lol Yeah right. Nothing is going to wake this team up, we have thought a loss a year long would wake them up and the same result over and over.

[moisaenz]

But Parker is the scapegoat

[Mugen]

It's TP time y'all, let's do thisssssssss

[Robz4000]

What a low IQ shot from Beli. The entire team's IQ is in the shitter this year tho, so it's par for the course I guess.

[RD2191]

Cojo + 4
Parker - 13

[Beaverfuzz]

QUIT PLAYING LIKE A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES!

[TheGreatYacht]

Marco has given us a huge lift.
Even when things go wrong, you can always count on Marco and Boris to bring the Spurs back

[timtonymanu]

They honestly could make a strong run like during the Pacers game. Thing is the fight needs to be there.

[Beaverfuzz]

Cojo + 4
Parker - 13

[rasuo214]

Play CoJo the rest of the game, if he needs a breather put in Patty.

[HI-FI]

Seriously, keep Toxic Parker on the bench. Don't waste a comeback.

[ElNono]

:lol if we win this game...

[TXstbobcat]

At least its only a single digit hole to crawl out of in the 4th lol

[Rescueone]

thats an AND1

Remember, they are playing the Jazz in Utah.

[SupremeGuy]

Cojo + 4
Parker - 13 The truth, tbh.

[TE]

Oh well...

[moisaenz]

Tp needs to be shut down rest of regular season

[TheGreatYacht]

KIWI -9
Reggie Williams +1

[bklynspursfan]

The whole parker thing.... Its funny, the past 2 years, there was similar outcry. He started the year poorly, and came on strong later. Its been that way the past 2 years. With all the injuries to him and games missed, his season is sort of just starting. He will get it going... He's shown glimpses already. Ppl need to be patient.

While it hurts short term with his struggles, there's no other way to get his rhythm back then playing him

[ducks]

cojo was going against jazz bench and not their shot clocker

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi has still been very good on defense. 3 point shooters aren't hitting below average ..they are still at 38-40% which is par for course.

And Diaw has been bad yes. But Parker? Abysmal.. and thats putting it kindly.

Kawhi has been shooting 33% from downtown. Green has been 28% over the last 5 games not including tonight. Boris has been shooting 31% from 3 this season. Patty 36%. All WELL below career averages.

Kawhi has been good on defense... so that's worth all this praise and "give him the keys, max deal"? When he can't even score 18 points per game with any frequency?

[beirmeistr]

I think Pop should take out Parker when Manu comes in the first quarter of each game. Because otherwise he is wasting Manu's playmaking for the time that Parker stays in.

[hater]

KIWI -9
Reggie Williams +1

:lmao

[NASpurs]

Tony doesn't really have an excuse - the rest of those guys are getting role player money. Parker's being paid like a star ($14 million a year with $45 million yet to come) but playing like a D-Leaguer. Impossible to win games when you have a large amount of your salary going to a cancerous player. He's our Kobe Bryant unfortunately.

[RD2191]

Offense is fucking dead

[Silver&Black]

manu can't throw it in the Salt Lake tbh....

[Cry Havoc]

Missed 3, missed 3, missed 3

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Manu trash. Boris scared to shoot per par

[Diego20]

:lmao

[Mugen]

Danny & TIago benched for scrub ass Manu/Baynes tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

Kawhi has been shooting 33% from downtown. Green has been 28% over the last 5 games not including tonight. Boris has been shooting 31% from 3 this season. Patty 36%. All WELL below career averages.

Who gives a fuck about a max contract, dumbass. The fact is, Tony Parker is the only below average player getting major minutes on this team.

The Spurs are literally better when he does not play.

[Rescueone]

Dias, stop passing the ball to Manu

[DontStopBelieving]

QUIT FUCKING SHOOTING 3'S MANU

He just won a fucking ring. Act like you been there before.

The old sports haven't woken up yet and god knows how many wake up calls they've gotten

[bklynspursfan]

No one is hitting anything but marco

[itzsoweezee]

He just won a fucking ring. Act like you been there before.

He can thank Kawhi, Diaw, and Duncan for that ring.

[TheGreatYacht]

If you need a 3, don't count on Kawhi.

[Rescueone]

Boris three feet from the basket and pass it out for a 26ft three

[tim_duncan_fan]

No one on the floor right now knows where they would like to get the ball in order to score.

How the fuck do you get to the NBA without knowing where you want to get to on the court????

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit living by the three and take it inside you fuckers.

[Chomag]

first team to 80 wins this....ya

[itzsoweezee]

Parker's coming in. FML

[RD2191]

Parker back in? Well that's that. Night folks.

[TheGoldStandard]

Boris three feet from the basket and pass it out for a 26ft three

He's french

[Spursfanfromafar]

Those numbers are for 5 games.. overall in the season.. they are almost par for course.

The Spurs are playing for a championship again and are working towards peak condition in a tough WC playoffs. The debate whether Kawhi deserves a max or not is academic and of no consequence to the main goal this season. It is a stupid argument to make in order to suggest that Parker is only as bad as the rest of the team. All kinds of numbers point out to the abysmal fall in Parker's standards this season. RPM numbers - the most relevant - point to Parker being as bad as the worst 5-10 PGs in the game. Thats a bad bad fall for a franchise player.

[Silver&Black]

Blame Becky tbh....

no 3Gs, no Spurs win

Lol this team is fucking trash rn.

lol giving Kawhi max money for playing like this

[Cry Havoc]

Parker not on the court. We should be scoring at a 120 points per game pace, right guys?

Guys?

Oh wait. That narrative only works if you don't know shit about basketball and you're a fair-weather fan. It's cool, none of you will be watching the Spurs soon anyway.

[RD2191]

If you need someone to bang your wife count on parker.

[TE]

This team is in some funk offensively. A funk which we have not seen since maybe 2010 or so.

[HI-FI]

Yep Pop waving the white French flag.

[ElNono]

Kawhi has been good on defense... so that's worth all this praise and "give him the keys, max deal"? When he can't even score 18 points per game with any frequency?

Kawhi will get the max because some other team will give it to him and the Spurs will match it not to end up empty handed... that's why it's not really the Spurs' choice.

[ducks]

no tp start of 4 no points in 3 minutes but the spurs play is all on tp

tp not making shots only 1-8 is part of the problem but not the hole problem

[Horse]

This is like space jam in real life

[Clipper Nation]

:lol CryFaggot with the meltdown of the year

So when Parker steps off the court and we still suck, what's your theory then?

No one has said Parker is playing well. But the narrative is that we won the Finals in SPITE of him. Well? Where the fuck is that team? Emphasis on TEAM.

Nah. Too many fans on here want to bitch at one player for this team's faults.

[moisaenz]

Parker resorting to flopping

[midnightpulp]

Parker back in.

GG, Jizz.

Maybe you'll go on a run now and grab the 8th seed. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Brazil and ChumpDumper should be semen shielding any second now.

Lol, Parker is much, much worse than each guy you listed. And paid much, much more.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker resorting to flopping

He's regressed so much as a point guard that he's resorted to using Derek Fisher moves

[BillMc]

Boris looking better.

[ducks]

spurs are losing because spurs bench user outscores their opponent bench by 20 5 only tonight

Nah. Too many fans on here want to bitch at one player for this team's faults.

Small sample.. but without Parker and with Cory Joseph & Patty Mills, I reckon, the Spurs were atleast better. That shows up Parker even more because Mills and Joseph aren't Westbrook & Curry. They are Mills and Joseph.

Don't bracket all Parker critics under the same category. There are Parker-haters out there and there are Parker-critics out there. Its been almost a season and a half since Parker played at top-10 PG levels in the NBA and he is paid as much. Doesn't augur well for the Spurs.

[spurtech09]

less complaining and more cheering plz

[Cry Havoc]

Lol, Parker is much, much worse than each guy you listed. And paid much, much more.

Lol. Here come the rest of the morons.

[Rescueone]

Lol, 18 turnovers to the Jazz. WOW

17 TOs and there's still 7 minutes left.

Another TO!

[beirmeistr]

If the Spurs lose this game, they will extend their streak of hard-to-watch shitty games.

[RD2191]

Damn, needed that 3

[ElNono]

Can we get a Danny 3?

[Cry Havoc]

6-14 at the line. :wow

[hitmanyr2k]

Kawhi showing some nice playmaking skills. Spurs just can't knock down anything outside of Diaw.

[RD2191]

Call a fucking foul faggot refs.

[ElNono]

that was no block...

[Chomag]

lol tp....smart foul

[spurtech09]

[Cry Havoc]

:lol A comedy of errors

[Rescueone]

Looks like it's going to be a 20 point loss

[timtonymanu]

Losing to the Jazz twice this season (possibly) is fucking embarrassing. :lol

I can understand the cliff-jumping at this point especially since Enrique is still guaranteed minutes to suck out there.

[RD2191]

come on cojo. Shit.

[Capt Bringdown]

5 point quarter

[Cry Havoc]

Cory Joseph ISOs in crunch time. Dear god.

[moisaenz]

Ayres is in..

[RD2191]

We need to draft a pg, tbh.

[Chomag]

I would say its still winnable but it looks like the Spurs dont want it.

[spurtech09]

shit... they look like retards out therewow even elnono is getting tired of this sorry display

[Kool Bob Love]

Losing to the Jazz twice this season (possibly) is fucking embarrassing. :lol

I can understand the cliff-jumping at this point especially since Enrique is still guaranteed minutes to suck out there.

i always knew you were a quitter. 9 months ago we rang. Now your already one foot out on a coming 3 game losing streak. Pathetic.

[Silver&Black]

Going to re-watch Game 5 after this.....

Need a pick me up tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

Ayres sighting. Figures. Kinda hard to win when your coach has given up.

[moisaenz]

Ridiculous

[Cry Havoc]

Dagger.

[SpurSwag]

This is sad, not only are we most likely gonna go sub 500 on this trip but we are actually in jeopardy of not winning 50 this year. This is the least amount of confidence I've had in our team since 2010, and that's pretty bad

[RD2191]

Parker rubbing off on the entire team.

[Johnny RIngo]

OKC gonna pass us up in the next two weeks.

[Darius Bieber]

7 -8 game losing streak coming up.

[timtonymanu]

i always knew you were a quitter.

Who the fuck said I quit? Koon Bob Love with the can't read bads again.

[spursparker9]

Where is Bonner?

he can provide some positive +/-

[ElNono]

Losing to the Jazz twice this season (possibly) is fucking embarrassing. :lol

I can understand the cliff-jumping at this point especially since Enrique is still guaranteed minutes to suck out there.

Losing to the Jazz doesn't bother me, they're like most east teams... you're never going to see in the playoffs anyways.

It's the way we're playing that's absolutely terrible. A mere 8 months ago this team was brimming with confidence, now it's just a pile of shit.

[TheGoldStandard]

We need to draft a pg, tbh.

They'll draft and stash one with an impossible contract

[Rescueone]

Marco trying to play D:lol

[moisaenz]

Fighting for 8 seed will make the season exciting

[SpurSwag]

And I don't even think I'm cliff jumping, the only stretch of great play we've had that lasted longer than 5 games I feel like was within the first 15 games of the season, but since then there has been nothing to support the idea that we are still a contender. Hopefully things change, but for now we look horrible

[RD2191]

Errbody chill. We gonna get the 8 seed and repeat. No joke.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

This pussy ass team :lol

[Kool Bob Love]

Who the fuck said I quit? Koon Bob Love with the bad takes again.

Cliff jumping from a 3 game losing streak.

[TheGoldStandard]

OKC gonna pass us up in the next two weeks.

Yup.. Looks like a 1st round exit only because Pelicans and Suns suck worse

[spurtech09]

7 -8 game losing streak coming up.wouldn't doubt it

[cd98]

Looks like Father Time has caught up.

[bklynspursfan]

I just keep telling myself, regardless of record, this team is just now starting the season. Finally healthy, clearly lacking chemistry and consistency that they had last year. And of course, motivation. We are due a pop saying guys played like dogs type of comment. Light a fire under these guys

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are now behind Dallas by 3.5 games. OKC is only 2.5 games behind the Spurs..

[timtonymanu]

Losing to the Jazz doesn't bother me, they're like most east teams... you're never going to see in the playoffs anyways.

It's the way we're playing that's absolutely terrible. A mere 8 months ago this team was brimming with confidence, now it's just a pile of shit.

Oh yeah, it's not just the Jazz. They've been out of sync since the team got fully healthy, which is opposite of what should happen. I'm still not counting the Spurs out yet, but it's hard to evaluate really what the team is feeling right now.

[TE]

This team is out of sync in the worst way possible.

[Arcadian]

OK, now I'm concerned. The ship is officially sinking. Losing badly to the Utah Jazz with everyone healthy after 2 days of rest? Looking like possibly the worst offensive team in the NBA right now? What the fuck is going on here?

[Chomag]

And some people laugh at people here that say that there is a chance that the Spurs dont even make the playoffs this year,

[ElNono]

You just gotta stick with this team... if they overcame 6, they can overcome this...

[spursparker9]

1st ever losing RRT. congrat 2015 Spurs

Been there and done that, didn't do anything. 2 days off after 2 straight losses, no fire to win tonight..

[Robz4000]

Yup.. Looks like a 1st round exit only because Pelicans and Suns suck worse

Pelicans and Suns can actually win games.

[spurtech09]

As I said, what a difference a year makes. Same team (even with a beat up Parker) was on a major 19 game win streak this time last year.

[unleashbaynes]

Cliff jumping from a 3 game losing streak.

they just aren't right. people aren't wrong to be a little worried.

[Kool Bob Love]

I just said I understand the cliff jumping, but I never said I quit. :lol like i said, the koon bob love bads.

What's there to understand about a 3 game losing streak in February? Cliff jumping after this team just won a chip. It shouldn't be a suprise teams are gunnin for the Spurs. You quiting pussy, take off the Bowen avy too. You being a Vince Carter right now.

[RD2191]

Just gotta keep pushing and hope they can get hot going into the playoffs. It looks bad and I doubt it happens but fuck it. Gotta go out swinging.

[Chomag]

Spurs are going to have to go balls out soon for the remainder of the season just to get a post season spot.

[Cry Havoc]

You just gotta stick with this team... if they overcame 6, they can overcome this...

It's rough, dude. This is bad.

I'm glad the playoffs are a mile off. We have some time to figure shit out. If we don't it won't matter, and if we do, we still got a shot to be a factor.

[ElNono]

As I said, what a difference a year makes. Same team (even with a beat up Parker) was on a major 19 game win streak this time last year.

But, IMO, it's all in the head... sure, Tim, Manu... maybe Danny are a little more banged up due to December... but guys like Tiago, Beli, Kawhi, Patty... they had time off, they're young...

[Duncanforthree]

Ok.

I'm late to the party, but it is officially time to panic now.

[Rescueone]

Gonna lose by 20

[JohnnyMax]

http://hardlaborsucks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/trash-bag.jpg

[tmtcsc]

Spurs are in dire need of home cooking and a "W". They look completely out of sorts. Tony isn't right, Leonard has taken a step back, Patty can't shoot...its very unusual to see them struggling like this. I wonder if this is bottom for them. Utah is playing so much harder than our guys and we just seem to be launching outside shots.

[TheGoldStandard]

Just gotta keep pushing and hope they can get hot going into the playoffs. It looks bad and I doubt it happens but fuck it. Gotta go out swinging.

This teams doesn't get mean, they're the type of team that would just write a nasty articulate letter stating why they detest the other team so much.

[timtonymanu]

What's there to understand about a 3 game losing streak in February? You quiting pussy, take off the Bowen avy too. You being a Vince Carter right now.

The Spurs have been having other problems than this 3 game losing streak. Your limited brain doesn't know that apparently.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I keep looking away hoping that when I look back, something miraculous will have happened.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Errors

[spursparker9]

Enrique should be playing at garbage time tbh.

[moisaenz]

Ayres...

[Mugen]

:lmao

[RD2191]

Lol Ayres to top it off.

[spurtech09]

will the spurs ever get it going

[Darius Bieber]

73 points against the fucking Jazz and haven't played since Friday.... Just blow this team up already.

[bklynspursfan]

Let's call it a win if we hit 80

[Dverde]

Can I get a GIF of that Ayres missed dunk. That was the apex of our suckiness.

[ElNono]

Just look at the Jazz... they're a terrible team. But they played harder than we did tonight.

I don't know what Pop has to do to get through, but you gotta trust he will.

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Ayres
:lol Spurs FO wasting the MLE

[Cry Havoc]

Just blow this team up already.

- Darius Bieber, 2013, just prior to a championship run

[SpurPadre]

Fuck this season just keeps getting worse.

[ducks]

jazz last 5 games do not give up 90 points their d is awesome lately

[Sean Cagney]

It's over, don't see them turning this around. This is their worst RR trip ever and the writing is on the wall when you get blown out by the Jazz. The offense is just lost compared to last year, thy had their final fury to get #5, cool and love this team forever but it's over.
Fuck this season just keeps getting worse.
I guess this is a sign of things to come and we better get used to it huh?

[Darius Bieber]

- Darius Bieber, 2013, just prior to a championship run


:lol Anyone who thinks this team is on a championship run this season is delusional.

[spurtech09]

I expect better from the spurs...I just don't know whats going on

[Rescueone]

Spurs have issues!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Can we somehow get this guy http://i61.tinypic.com/2ahxxug.jpg

[Kool Bob Love]

The Spurs have been having other problems than this 3 game losing streak. Your limited brain doesn't know that apparently.

Give some fucking credit to the other teams. This is there championship game. Holy fuck.

[tmtcsc]

Enrique should be playing at garbage time tbh.

:tu

[DontStopBelieving]

And some people laugh at people here that say that there is a chance that the Spurs dont even make the playoffs this year,

there is zero chance they miss the playoffs this year. :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Just look at the Jazz... they're a terrible team. But they played harder than we did tonight.

I don't know what Pop has to do to get through, but you gotta trust he will.

Throw some shit and get into a fight where they have to "Hold him back" I think everything else is lost beyond that.

I was just about to say that, don't even compare that 2013 team to this one. That team was ALOT better.

[TheGoldStandard]

:lol Ayres
:lol Spurs FO wasting the MLE

Ayres = David Robinson.. who said that again??

[RD2191]

Rofl jazz confetti

[Chomag]

TP might should be the one talking about retiring, not manu and Timmy.

[HI-FI]

:lmao

But, IMO, it's all in the head... sure, Tim, Manu... maybe Danny are a little more banged up due to December... but guys like Tiago, Beli, Kawhi, Patty... they had time off, they're young...

Can't argue with you.

[ElNono]

I was just about to say that, don't even compare that 2013 team to this one. That team was ALOT better.

It's actually the same damn team, with Reggie Williams for Austin Daye...

We're just playing like we're entitled to be the champs again or something...

Nice comeback bro. I can feel the burn over here. Good thing I'm not a homer fan.

[bklynspursfan]

Predicting a win in Portland. But I've predicted wins the last 2 games lol...f it... I know these guys will turn it around. It looks bad now... But they'll get it together. I'd rather decent play early, struggle mid season (mostly due to injuries and a shitty December schedule) and a strong finish to the year. We sucked last year against +500 teams and people did the same dance and jumped off the bandwagon.

These guys will get it together.

[Russo21]

Well that was pretty fucked up

[ElNono]

I might just have to start the next game thread, tbh.... desperate times require desperate measures...

[Arcadian]

:lmao Confetti falling from the roof....
:lmao Utah jazz...
:lmao Karl malone...
:lmao zero rings...faggots

[Rescueone]

Is this team even going to make the playoffs playing like this??

[Sean Cagney]

It's actually the same damn team, with Reggie Williams for Austin Daye...

We're just playing like we're entitled to be the champs again or something...Same team but not nearly playing at the same level nor hunger they had last year, not even close. Their O last year was on another level at times, later on a higher level. This team just doesn't care enough or completely lost what hey had? Same team but miles apart.

They suck this year against bad teams too, that is the problem.

[Duncanforthree]

Well on the bright side we didn't lose any ground to Phoenix.

I can't believe that's the silver lining right now.

[Beaverfuzz]

Well fuck, I will be there Wed night sitting curtsied. Have to win that game, absolutely have to.

[benfti]

That's not really fair on the Jazz they are on the up, so many good young guys

[Darius Bieber]

OKC only 3 games behind us.... Spurs 3 games out of 6th place.. OKC will catch up quick. 6 game win streak without Durbeta.

The lazy passes and reliance on the three pointer get me.

[Chomag]

OKC is only what, 3 games behind us now?

[BillMc]

My hopes for the team have been re-calibrated to winning 50+ games and keeping OKC at bay. At that point, we'll see how we look at playoff time. There is still time, but must admit it's looking tough...

[timtonymanu]

I can't even feel frustrated knowing that 5 was a reality. Or maybe, I'm just programmed to think the Spurs are losing every game. :lol

[SpurSwag]

We are so fucked if we have to play GS in the first round tbh, not that we can't eventually beat them but this team probably won't be ready for them that early. I'd much rather play Memphis

Me too. (Not that they'd be easy).

Different circumstances... We are the hunted, like Miami was the previous couple years and they were getting beat by shitty teams. It comes with the territory. This team goes on even a 5-7 game winning stream (6 straight home games after the RRT) and they could go up to the 3rd seed.

[SpurPadre]

Maybe what this team needs is a Malik Rose-Avery Johnson type locker room incident.
